Procédé de fabrication d'une pièce, ou d'une partie de celle-ci, dotée d'un dépôt apporté par soudure, incluant les étapes de déposition en couches multiples, par arc électrique, sur la pièce, d'un métal de base (1), au moyen d'une électrode consommable, d'usinage et de revenu, dans lequel la déposition est accomplie de telle manière qu'au moins une première couche (2) soit formée sur le métal de base en formant une zone de fusion avec le métal de base, caractérisé en ce que ladite première couche (2) est formée de zones prédéterminées, alternant en au moins une direction et consistant en différents métaux (4, 5) ayant des coefficients de dilatation linéaire différents, dans lequel au moins l'une desdites zones de métaux différents qui constituent ladite première couche (2) contient un métal, dont le coefficient de dilatation linéaire est inférieur à celui du métal de base (1) de la pièce.
  2. Procédé selon la revendication 1, caractérisé en ce que, avant de mettre en oeuvre la déposition en une seule passe ou en passes multiples, des gorges sont réalisées par tournage ou embossage dans la pièce (1), avec un espacement, une profondeur et un nombre de passes prédéterminés, à la suite de quoi lesdites gorges sont scellées par fusion avec un métal (4) ayant un coefficient de dilatation linéaire inférieur à celui du métal de base de la pièce, de telle manière que soit formée une couche constituées de zones de métal alternant, ayant un coefficient de dilatation linéaire inférieure à celui du métal de base (1) de la pièce et des autres zones du métal (5) de la pièce.
  3. Procédé selon les revendications 1, 2, caractérisé en ce que des gorges annulaires, ayant un espacement et une profondeur prédéterminées, sont formées, donnant ainsi des zones ayant des coefficients de dilatation linéaire alternant en direction longitudinal.
  4. Procédé selon les revendications 1, 2, caractérisé en ce que des gorges alternant régulièrement sont formées en direction circonférentielle, avec un espacement et une profondeur prédéterminés, par ciselage ou embossage, pour obtenir l'alternance des zones ayant des coefficients de dilatation linéaire différents uniquement en direction circonférentielle.
  5. Procédé selon la revendication 1, caractérisé en ce qu'au moins la première couche (2) est appliquée en revêtement en utilisant une déposition à passes multiples, le métal (3) appliqué en revêtement qui correspond à au moins une passe ayant un coefficient de dilatation linéaire inférieure à celui du métal de base (1) de la pièce.
  6. Procédé selon la revendication 1, caractérisé en ce qu'au moins la première couche (2) est constituée de perles circulaires, faites de métaux alternant, dont le nombre et l'emplacement sont prédéterminés et dont certaines ont un coefficient de dilatation linéaire inférieur à celui du métal de base de la pièce, pour obtenir des zones alternant prédéterminées, faites de métaux différents en au moins ladite première couche (2).
  7. Procédé selon la revendication 1, caractérisé en ce qu'au moins la première couche (2) est constituée de perles longitudinales, faites de métaux alternant régulièrement en direction circonférentielle, dont le nombre et l'emplacement sont prédéterminés et dont certaines ont un coefficient de dilatation linéaire inférieur à celui du métal de base de la pièce, pour obtenir des zones alternantes prédéterminées, faites de métaux différents en au moins ladite première couche (2).
  8. Procédé selon les revendications 1, 2, 3, 4, caractérisé en ce que lesdites gorges sont scellées par fusion, par application de perles composées de métal (2, 3) appliqué en revêtement.
  9. Procédé selon les revendications 1, 5, caractérisé en ce que la première couche (2) est appliquée en revêtement par déposition à passes multiples, le métal (3) appliqué en revêtement correspondant à au moins une passe ayant un coefficient de dilatation linéaire inférieur à celui du métal de base de la pièce, tandis qu'au moins une couche suivante est déposée de telle manière que le nombre de passes avec le métal appliqué en revêtement ayant un coefficient de dilatation linéaire inférieur à celui du métal de base de la pièce soit différent de celui de la couche précédente.
  10. Pièce dotée d'un dépôt de rechargement par soudure, incluant au moins une première couche (2), ladite pièce en métal de base (1) ayant un dépôt multicouches fabriqué au moyen d'une déposition par arc électrique, avec une électrode consommable sur ladite pièce de métal de base, soumise à un usinage et à un revenu, dans lequel ladite première couche (2) présente une zone de fusion avec le métal de base (1), caractérisée en ce que ladite première couche est formée de zones prédéterminées, alternant en au moins une direction et consistant en différents métaux (4, 5) présentant des coefficients de dilatation linéaire différents, dans lequel au moins l'une desdites zones de métaux différents qui constituent ladite couche contient un métal (4), dont le coefficient de dilatation linéaire est inférieur à celui du métal de base (1) de la pièce.
